Greece Historical Society wants to hear from anyone who is a member of a pioneer family who was living in the Town of Greece before 1872. Pioneer Families of the Town of Greece, Volume 1 was published in December, but there are more families left to explore. Co-authors Marie Villone Poinan and Jo Ann Ward Snyder are now accepting additional family submissions for Volume 2.
To appear in the book, the family must have been living in the Town of Greece before 1872. Those from qualified families may download submission packet forms from the Greece Historical Society home page, www.greecehistoricalsociety.org. Those without internet access can call 585-225-7221 to receive the forms by mail. Return the completed submission packet (five forms) by May 1, 2022. Those who submit packets will be contacted within 30 days. The book will be published in the fall of 2022.
